Chapter 38 Chapter 38

"To be honest, the scene between Mr. Tan and Hebai just now was the one that shocked me the most among the three, four and twelve scenes today." Shao Weiming smiled playfully.

"Mr. Shao was right. Cheng Hebai is indeed an actor with great potential. Mr. Shao knows people with his eyes." Tan Yue was in a state of suspense, and talked about him from left to right.

Shao Weiming had his own conclusions, he smiled cunningly and said nothing, and the two soon arrived at the guest room.In addition to the four judges of this program, the main creators of the other three dramas followed today's mirror throughout the broadcast in this room.

Tan Yue saw that there were not only the producers of the film - Uncle Shao Weiming, Shao Lirong of Hongxin Media, but also director Zhang Shuli, director and screenwriter Xuan Hui of "Sunshine", director Ning Bin of "Liu Lisuo" and the author and co-author of the original book. screenwriter.

The discussion in the guest room was lively.

"Liu Kezhen came to "Sunshine". There is nothing to say about it. Although her current image is somewhat stylized and deviates from the female character Xiaoqin, she still has potential, and it is not a problem to train her to be competent."

Both "Liu Lisuo" and "Tiger Fight" didn't speak, neither of them bothered to compete with Xuan Hui for Liu Kezhen, because they didn't lack a heroine.

Shao Lirong tapped the table with a signature pen: "The problem lies in the remaining three male actors. My point of view is that you should talk about the roles you want to give to each of your plays."

"Liu Lisuo" was the first to speak, and the director Ning Bin and the original author gave the following answer after unifying their opinions: The crew wanted to spare Zhou Ya, the leading male lead, for a famous actor, and he was more compatible with Su Qinxin in terms of age and popularity .

Yu Chenghan's playing path is relatively narrow, at most Qiu Wuhe.Xing Yuntao's performances are all on the pass line, but the scholar Ji Lin is not up to the task, he has more than face but not enough character.Cheng Hebai is better, it will have different flavors when placed in different roles, and it is very versatile.

"Nothing New Under the Sun" insisted that Cheng Hebai play Yuzhou.Director Xuan Hui said that there is nothing more eye-catching than him.Several other important supporting roles who were killed can be given to the other two male actors.

"Tiger Fight" feels that there is nothing to say about this, and Xu Xiaochuan's performance is right there.Fortunately, this role is not too important, just a clue character.It is not a big problem to let Cheng Hebai play two plays.But three parts are difficult.Yu Chenghan is too pretentious and too tender to be a gangster.Xing Yuntao is too handsome to be a policeman, let alone a gangster.

Shao Lirong asked the four judges for their opinions.

Su Qinxin took her seat directly.She thinks that Xing Yuntao's temperament is very suitable to play a prince, the prince of Rong Di or Prince Xide.She was a little bit obsessed with Cheng Hebai's interpretation of Qiu Endless, and felt that he had to play this role.She didn't call Yu Chenghan very much.

Zhen Chun is a pet, which means she has no opinions.Seeing that Wang Ledi didn't speak for a long time, Tan Yue had no choice but to make a statement first.He knew that he was an outsider no matter what, so he proposed that it would be more appropriate for the director and producer to make the final decision on casting.

Wang Ledi finally spoke slowly: "Except for Cheng Hebai, everything else doesn't matter."

This is a very subtle response.Zhen Chun, who is inexperienced here, and several young directors and screenwriters are puzzled, but seeing how he answered the difficult questions, I feel that it is not easy to ask why.

Tan Yue pursed his lips, understanding.He understood that Cheng Hebai's shaping of Yu Zhou was so perfect that Wang Ledi felt oppressed.There must be a watershed between juniors and seniors, supporting roles and protagonists.A supporting cast can be great, but it shouldn't upstage the main character, especially the one in the movie.

If "Sunshine" uses Cheng Hebai, Wang Ledi will be in crisis.If the play is not smooth, the balance of the story will be broken.Tan Yue laughed at Wang Ledi's self-knowledge, but he felt that Wang Ledi's self-knowledge was more to maintain his own weight in the film.

Shao Lirong wrote and drew on paper, and made a draft for his nephew to read.Shao Weiming nodded, and Shao Lirong gave his opinions on investing in the producer and the agent.

"Sunshine" uses Liu Kezhen;

"Tiger Fight" uses Cheng Hebai;

"Liu Lisuo" uses Xing Yuntao and Cheng Hebai.

Shao Lirong said slyly: "As for the specific role, we will call the contestants in later, and you will make a final calculation. They also have the right to know, right?"

When Yu Chenghan failed, there were people who were puzzled, but probably none who were truly regretful.With his acting skills, to be honest, he didn't have to give him a role.

Shao Weiming went out to give some instructions to his assistant Xiao Sun, and told him to bring the four players.

When the contestants approached, Tan Yue glanced at Cheng Hebai lightly. He saw this young man with lowered brows, a calm attitude and a gentle expression.Tan Yue felt that he was not only impulsive just now, but could even be said to be presumptuous.With Cheng Hebai's intelligence, Tan Yue thought, he must be able to feel that he is not just playing.Fortunately, he didn't care about anything. In front of Shao Weiming, he even cleverly and cooperatively found an excuse to expose this problem.

But why did I suddenly have a sense of familiarity that was almost nostalgic for a strange junior.Is it just because the scene of performing "death" touched a certain ring in him...

Tan Yue turned his eyes away calmly, avoiding Shao Weiming's seemingly continuous inquiries.At this moment, President Shao asked the contestants to sit down and asked the four of them to talk about their wishes.

The answer given by Liu Kezhen is undoubtedly "Sunlight".But she also wanted to act in "Liu Lisuo" very much, because she was so fan of this story, she even joked with the director and the original author that she could just give herself a maid.Of course, everyone heard that it was a joke, and happily followed it.

Yu Chenghan still raised his chin and glanced upwards, he said bluntly that any play was fine, he could act.

Xing Yuntao glanced at Cheng Hebai, and then said that he wanted to act in "Liu Lisuo", hoping to play Zhou Ya, or one of Xide's princes.As for "Daylight", he knew that the fishing boat could not be his own, but he was also reluctant to play a dead man in his debut on the big screen. "Tiger Fight" is exempt, he still can't grasp the characters in it.

When Cheng Hebai spoke, everyone looked at him.Undoubtedly, he is the biggest winner of this show. He may be a little behind Xing Yuntao in terms of audience support, but his acting skills are really impressive.

"The fishing boat from 'Nothing New Under the Sun'." Ling Qingyuan replied.He quickly flipped through three scripts just now. "Sunshine" is about a serial murder. There should have been seven people who died. An accidental encounter reversed the fate of the two people. murderer.The story is full of reflections on reality.The play between Li Tianming and Yu Zhou is full of wonderful humanistic care.It was Li Tianming's transformation that led to Yuzhou's death, but it was the indifferent urban youth who lost their indifference that made the cold city show warmth.

The story is a subject that he really wants to try, and Yu Zhou is also a very challenging character that can inspire his potential.Ling Qingyuan looked at director Xuan Hui sincerely, begging him to give him this role.

Xuan Hui glanced at Shao's uncle and nephew, then at Wang Ledi, and finally said nothing - he is not yet a director.To prepare this literary script, he received great financial and manpower support from Shaw Brothers, and the condition was to support Wang Ledi to the top.The tone has already been set. Although he, the director, cherishes his talent and wants to make the story more perfect, he can't help it.

Wang Ledi pouted coldly and contemptuously.Tan Yue sighed inwardly. It is impossible for everyone to be satisfied with the casting, and there are too many factors that need to be compromised.He vaguely guessed that Cheng Hebai didn't choose "Tiger Fight" to avoid himself.Although Tan Yue felt empty in his heart, he was not unhappy.He even felt that the young man made a wise choice with a clear mind."Daylight" directed by Xuan Hui is a good film. It is undoubtedly a great pity to miss this potential actor.

"Hebai, how about "Liu Lisuo" and "Tiger Fight"?" Shao Lirong asked guidingly.

"Of course it's also very good." From the silence just now, Ling Qingyuan felt that his hope would be shattered.

Director Ning Bin of "Liu Lisuo" specifically asked him: "Have you read the script, what about the character of Qiu Wuxian? It is also a very contradictory character with conflicts in one."

Cheng Hebai said that he likes Qiu Wuwu very much.Yu Chenghan bared in a moderate voice, rubbed and stabbed him secretly, he liked everything and could act in anything.

Zhang Shuli silently asked Tan Yue if he wanted this actor for "Tiger Fight".Tan Yue still gave a dispensable and indifferent attitude, so Director Zhang was too lazy to invite.

"Just Qiu Endless, he is also a very popular character." Shao Weiming changed the subject and asked Cheng Hebai: "What do you think of Xu Xiaochuan?"

Ling Qingyuan looked back at Shao Weiming: "Mr. Shao said yes, of course."

Shao Weiming said with satisfaction: "That's good, it's settled like this. You can really play Xiaoqin in "Sunshine". Yuntao played Rong Chen in "Liu Lisuo". Rong Jin, and Xu Xiaochuan from "Tiger Fight."

Hearing this result, Yu Chenghan stood up from his chair and asked loudly: "Mr. Shao, what am I playing!"

Shao Weiming said lightly: "Cheng Han, there is no suitable role for you at the moment, and I will naturally find you when I have one."

"This is inappropriate! Why did Cheng Hebai get two roles, but I didn't have any!" Yu Chenghan pointed at Cheng Hebai and said angrily, "Why did he become the biggest winner? What kind of training did you say he has, and what background does he have!"

A young actor with no training can perform like this.Many people present cast their gazes at Cheng Hebai, but the latter stared at the table motionlessly, not saying a word.

Shao Weiming calmed down like a spring breeze: "Cheng Han, I suggest that you don't judge others by yourself. Hebai speaks with strength. If you want to ask his backstage, of course it is me, Hongxin Entertainment and Hongxin Media."

Tan Yue clasped his hands together and cast a sideways glance at Shao Weiming. This young master never said anything useless, nor did he waste his time talking nonsense.Words that only have a superficial meaning are naturally nonsense.The Shao family pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and the level of eloquence should never be underestimated.

Yu Chenghan's face turned red, and Shao Weiming insinuated that he had no strength in front of so many people and only relied on the backstage, with his arrogance and humble self-esteem, it was completely unbearable.

"Mr. Shao, don't forget that Hongxin Group can get to this point because of..."

The knock on the door from Dudu attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room. Shao Weiming's assistant, Xiao Sun, pushed open the door and immediately stepped aside to let people in.A tall and serious man walked in. Because he was well maintained, his apparent age was seven or eight years younger than his actual age, and he seemed to be in his early thirties at most.During the banquet, many people stood up, especially the junior director and several new actors.

The visitor ignored the person standing to salute, but walked up to Tan Yue and shook hands with him first.

"Mr. Tan, I've heard about it for a long time, but I haven't had time to greet you."

"Mr. Yu, you are being polite. Tan Yuecai has held premieres in Wei Feng several times, but he has never had a chance to say hello to you."

This man is the president of Weifeng International, Yu Chengyuan, the eldest son of Yu Weitai.He then shook hands with several directors and greeted the actors.In principle, although Zhang Shuli has the oldest seniority in this circle, he is from Hongxin and they are familiar with each other; Tan Yue is quite well-known and an outsider, so it is reasonable for Yu Chengyuan to greet him first.

"Wei Feng Cinema is waiting for your masterpieces." Yu Chengyuan's attitude is very clear, I will release your films if they pass the trial, and the schedule of the shows is easy to discuss.He then greeted Shao's uncle and nephew who came over intimately. He still called Shao Lirong uncle, but Shao Weiming obviously had a good relationship with him and called him by his first name.

Yu Chenghan's face changed drastically from the moment he saw his eldest brother Cheng Yuan.He wanted to say that Hongxin's success is due to the close cooperation with Wei Feng, because the film and television works are sold, so the artist's development is also good.He was just talking in a fit of anger, but he didn't expect Shao Weiming to call his elder brother directly.

"I'm really sorry to interrupt your discussion of works and casting. Yu Chenghan is ignorant, and I'm even more embarrassed to disturb your thoughts. He is young and uncertain. I also thank my little uncle and Weiming for giving him the stage to let him sing, and thank the judges for their forgiveness." Him." Yu Chengyuan's tone was very low, but everyone present could tell that he was just low.

"It's over, why don't you leave?" Yu Chengyuan didn't even look at Yu Chenghan, and just threw the words to him coldly.

Yu Chenghan moved his mouth, but didn't make a sound or move.He didn't want to give up acting, he couldn't save his face and just left like an idiot, but he was really scared, Shao Weiming moved his elder brother here, it was obvious that the two families would cut off his way.

Because it was an extramarital affair and gave birth to a child, I didn't want him to show his face.

Yu Chengyuan waited for a long time before he came, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he chatted with the Shao family: "I have watched your show roughly, it is very creative, and you have selected good actors. 'Really' capable young people are not It should be buried." Yu Chengyuan nodded to the young director Xuan Hui, Cheng Hebai and others while speaking.

"I look forward to your box office hits and your acting career is booming."

Yu Chenghan slapped the table hard with his palm, and followed Yu Chengyuan with a sullen head.Shao Lirong smiled warmly, watching the two leave, Shao Weiming and his brothers waved Yu Chengyuan kindly.

The small episode did not disrupt the serious business. Of course, Shao Weiming's move also deterred young actors and directors by the way, allowing them to see clearly the confidence of the club they signed.In a word, Shaw Brothers can give sugar, but the premise is to be obedient.Even if you are not obedient, you can also cook obediently.

Ling Qingyuan felt sorry for Xuan Hui.This is a young director who is just showing his talents. Unfortunately, in Hongxin, he has too many utilitarian transactions and mixed reputation, so he is destined not to be free.

As for Cheng Hebai, who he plays, how should he survive in this cramped environment that goes against his heart...

The result of the casting was very happy and harmonious.Next, it is expected that two films will be launched first. "Liu Li Suo" has to be delayed for two weeks because it still wants to consider the candidate for the leading actor Zhou Ya.The three groups of directors took the newly selected actors to discuss specific matters.The operation of the program was coming to an end, and Shao Lirong and Shao Weiming also took a break from their busy schedules to catch their breath.

Wang Ledi took a slow step on the back foot, and specially cast a grateful glance at Shao Weiming.

Shao Lirong also saw Wang Ledi's expression of thanks, and said to his nephew amusedly: "I thought you signed Cheng Hebai before, but it was just a soft impulse. Now it seems that you underestimated the level of your upper body."

"how?"

"After all this, Cheng Hebai actually made an old actor with ten years of experience feel a sense of crisis. Sometimes what you say with your sixth sense is still useful."

Shao Weiming snorted softly and replied: "You will find out later that my intuition is more than that." Shao Weiming hesitated slightly, and started another topic: "By the way... Wang Ledi is really disappointing. Even newcomers can't hold back .”

Shao Lirong's job is naturally not to manage actors, so there is no pressure to be mean: "That's why he didn't become the best actor. You can see the gap between the two of them just by looking at Tan Yue. The two of us privately said that the script of "Sunshine" is no better than "Sunshine" "Tiger Fight", today the director and the crew did not participate in the battle purely for acting skills. Just two clips, let's see who is better."

"Whether Wang Ledi competes or not, he is my man. Hongxin Entertainment needs a brother recognized by the industry, and this brother needs a famous name. Uncle, the next best actor has to be created for him no matter what. .”

Shao Lirong went straight to the point: "It's not me, let me ask you frankly, after watching Tan Yue's performance today, how sure are you? If he changes to a good book, how sure are you?"

Shao Weiming pondered and said: "Tan Yue can always find a way to suppress it. Let Zhang Shuli take pictures slowly and repeatedly, and grind him for half a year." Shao Weiming picked up the manuscript paper of the two people's written conversation in the meeting just now, and it was full of people's names and names. The character said out of nowhere: "As a human, there will always be shortcomings... If you find the shortcomings, there is always a way to control them."

"You are an artist who really protects yourself." Shao Lirong sighed: "I don't advocate Cheng Hebai's acting with Wang Ledi too early. Brother Yi was robbed of the limelight by his younger generation before he could stand firm. If he was not careful, he might just smash his sign fault."

Shao Weiming was talking to himself, as if he was asking himself: "Then how will his development be arranged?"

"If I put it another way, even if Wang Ledi is not good, there is still Cheng Hebai. If Cheng Hebai grows fast, are you afraid that there will be no successors?"

Shao Weiming folded the paper in half repeatedly until he could no longer fold it: "Hongxin's pillar, I hope you don't make me wait too long."
